Henning Ohlenbusch - Held His Gaze lyrics

Two drops falling down Right into the mix The pastry takes on power When tears are in the flour It rattles in her hands The fork against the plate The napkin falls on tiles The sugar falls in piles The superstitious bride Is laughing in the car She lighting little fires While he's outside fixing tires But the smile fades from her face Like her breath fades from the windshield Of all the days to rain Of all the days to rain But she held his gaze for days The children at his knees Are outside getting wet They've knocked down a bunch of trees And they're not finished yet ‘Cause they saw it in his face And they heard it when he talked Spread nails all over the place And then they hid behind a rock But she held his gaze for days Is it time to tell them? Should we make it public? We have such a secret Is it really worth keeping? She's sleeping down the hall And she held his gaze for days
